Lion Mail - RSS author is now blod instead of subject

Hi all,
I can't believe if Apple has forogt about this to be honest... But maybe it's just me missing somehting.
In the new Mail, the RSS messages are listed as before (by date, subject, etc.) but now the first text in bold is the author and NOT the subject?? Which of course, for RSS feeds is TOTALLY pointless? Is it possible these guys have been doing hardware and software for over 30 years and still miss the basics?
Can anyone please point out how to keep the new view but of course hide the author or at least swap author and subject and make subject bold?
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks wjosten,
I had already tried that. I even created a keyboard shortcut to do so. It doesn't work! As soon as I close down Mail.app and start it up again, the messages are back in the inbox.

  • Lion Mail - RSS Feeds quit updating

    I just came back from vacation and my RSS feeds in Lion Mail won't update. When I click on one, it's empty and when I tell it to individually update or Update All, it tries and nothing updates. Any ideas? Thanks!

    i was able to find this on another website...
    CXL: Safari fails to display RSS feeds when CPU is under load or free disk space on system drive is small. That pretty much sums it up. It's annoying, too, because if Time Machine is doing its hourly backup or I'm converting video files, Safari's RSS display repeatedly fails with the same error message: "Mach errore 268451843 - (ipc/rcv) timed out" or "NSMachErrorDomain:268451843". Under the same conditions, Safari fetches and displays normal webpages perfectly fine. Filed: 5610533.
    but this doesn't make sense, I have about 4.5 GB free on my startup drive....
    i also found this apple thread which is about the same issue, but also has no resolution..
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7418974
    if anyone figures anything out please help! thank you!

  • Mountain Lion Mail cannot search for non-alpha characters in Subject Lines

    Under 10.8.3, Mail 6.3 often cannot successfully find messages if the search string contains a non-alpha character.
    I have only tested this searching for Subject lines that are KNOWN to contain non-alpha characters
    Specfic examples:
    Subject starts with "[ABC..."
    Mail cannot find it if you search using "[ABC"
    Mail CAN find it if you search using just "ABC"
    Subject contains the numeral "2"
    Mail cannont find it if you enter "2" as the search string...even if you further constrain the search to "Subject contains: 2"
    Other problem characters I have found:
    The failure when using square bracket is a real pain since a lot of mailing lists are tagged using strings wrapped in square brackets.
    Sometimes it WORKS when I include multiple non-alpha characters in the search string, like "55" or "4/19"
    Anyone else see this?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How to not "read" Junk Messages In Lion Mail?

    In the new setup in Lion Mail, the left column now has the subject line and first couple lines of the message.
    To create any kind of action with the message, I have to select it.  It then appears on the right and is seen as opened mail.
    For most messages, this is okay, but for junk mailing (foreign entitities wanting money etc.), I don't want to open it but I do want to delete it.
    Does anyone know how I can delete without "selecting" the message and automatically opening it or do I just have to use the alternate older view of Mail that is provided?

    I second this... Some emails I don't want to see at all. (i.e. Prince SoNSo has left me a gazillion dollars, all I have to do is reply...) Is there and edit button in the new mail as similar to the one used on portables?

  • Lion Mail preview not loading / showing emails

    After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion, the new Mail program is not working correctly.
    It appears many of my messages (in the inbox, sent, drafts) only have the email address and header, and don't have any text in the actual email....so in the preview pane, it just says loading....and nothing loads.  I have seen others postings similar problems online.  I've tried some of the solutions, none worked.
    I can send and received new emails - and they show up fine in the preview pane.
    All the emails in mailboxes I've created On My Mac in mail are fine.
    How do I get all my emails in the inbox, drafts and sent to show up correctly?
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi DreamsPower:
    I did not have any luck with the rebuild mailbox command, or other solutions posted online, so this is what I did to restore my missing mail:
    1) run time machine so I have a backup of my current Lion Mail programs data.
    2) deleted all the messages (inbox, drafts, sent, etc.) that would not show anything in preview window. Since I had sent and received a number of emails after installing Lion....and these new emails showed up fine in preview, so I did not delete them.
    3) opened up time machine backup to a date just before I did the Lion upgrade, and then restored the Mail programs data folder (users>library>mail) to my desktop.  This gives me a copy of the Mail program data files (all my emails) before the Lion System/Mail upgrade.  Then opened the appropriate mailbox subfolder folder (from the restored mail folder on my desktop), such as the inbox, and then opened the messages folder or folders in the inbox (there may be several and they may be buried in numbered folders).  The message folder(s) will have your emails (the emails will have numbers for names).  Then I just option dragged (copied) the email messages and dropped them in my Lion Mail programs inbox, and now my inbox has all my missing messages.  Did the same for the drafts and sent emails.  So now I have all my mail and they show up when previewed.  Since the messages in my other mailboxes were fine, I did not need to delete and replace them.
    Hope this makes sense.....

  • For all like me who have been fooled by rss disapearing in Mountain Lion Mail

    I have read lots of threads regarding the discontinued support of RSS feeds in Mountain Lion Mail, but unfortunately, after I have installed Moutain Lion (I am really angry with Apple not to have communicate on this point and to have discover it at the end of the install!).
    So, after reading a lot on the subject, here's what I have made to get back everything I needed.
    First, I wanted to get all my saved articles back. For this I have gone in ~Library>Mail>V2>RSS> (you have to show hidden files) Here you have the list of your old rss mailboxes. Select the ones you want to restore and drop them into a folder that's not hidden (in a folder on your desktop for example) because you won't be able to see this folder in the file selection window in the next step.
    Then go to Mail->File->Import mailboxes
    Select "Apple Mail". Then go to the folder previously created and select all the .mbox files you moved in.
    Now you will have a new mail box with all imported subfolders and alle your saved articles. You can then rearrange them as you like.
    Now, to renew your feeds subscriptions, you have no other choice than to use another rss app. And to find all your feeds links, go to ~Library>Mail>V2>RSS> or the folder previously created and in each .mbox open the info.plist file. In each file look for the string in front of "RSSFeedURLString", double click on it and copy and paste it in your new rss reader.
    It's not a clean solution, it's quite long (mainly for the import of rss feeds in the new reader), it forces to have old saved articles in mail and new ones in the new app, but that's the only solution I have found.
    If anyone has a better one, I think lots of us will appreciate.
    PS: please accept my apologies if everything is not clear, as English is not my mother tongue

    I just noticed I have to run spell check when leaving a post here. The old Safari would automatically redline misspelled words.
    Seems that they are taking many things away when we upgrade- don't understand.
    That is a function of the forum software. Safari 6 has nothing to do with it.

  • Where is Mail RSS feeds on Lion 10.8?

    Please let me know where to find Mail RSS feeds using Lion 10.8 and Mail 6.0.
    Thank you.

    RSS has been completely removed from Mail and Safari in OS X 10.8. There are several third-party RSS readers available; search MacUpdate for "RSS".
    BTW, this forum is for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. The OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion forum is here:

  • I now have Lion on my laptop, and now I cannot get Word, or Office or anything. Do I have to buy the new Microsoft for Mac

    I now have Lion on my laptop, and now I cant get Word, or Office or any of my Microsoft for Mac stuff to work. Do I have to buy a new version of all this now that the operating software is Lion instead of leopard?

    Support for Office 2004 went away when Lion adandoned support for the Rosetta emulator that let Snow Leopard and earlier run old PPC programs like Office 2004 on an Intel Mac.
    The first version of Office that runs natively on an Intel Mac is Office 2008. The current version is Office 2011 and should offer no problems.
    Your choice of Office version depends on whether you count on Entourage as your mail client. Office 2008 was the last version to include Entourage. With Office 2011, Entourage was replaced by a Mac version of Outlook BUT you must buy the more expensive "business" version to get Outlook. It does not come with the more affordable "Home/Student" edition.

  • Mountain Lion Mail Issue

    I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Since upgrade I now have a problem with Mail v6.0 it works perfectly fine with two WPA Personal and WPA2 Personal WiFi networks, but not at all with my Uni WPA/WPA2 Enterprise network.  I get internet connection but cannot receive or send mail.  I have refreshed the networks.  I have reinstalled the software.  I have Used Connection Doctor but it says I have internet (green light) but get red for all mail pop and smtp accounts.  I am baffled why it works perfectly fine on personal networks only.
    I am considering unloading Mountain Lion as no-one at Apple phone support or in the Apple store can explain or fix it.

    Yes, I know. But the better you explain the situation, the more likely someone will understand what is going on and be able to help. You just copied and pasted what you wrote before, which I asked for clarification about.
    There is nothing about Mountain Lion that is going to restrict your network connections. Mountain Lion may be interacting with your university network better and implementing university restrictions that were broken before. It may be just a coincidence of timing.
    You mentioned POP accounts with your ISP. Most POP accounts are stricted to their home network. This is because they usually aren't secure. Every time you check your e-mail you are broadcasting your password. The default SMTP configuration has no security settings either. It is standard for networks to block this default activity. You are blaming Mountain Lion but it sure sounds like your university network and Mountain Lion are operating correctly. Such default e-mail setting are supposed to be blocked. They are doing you a favour.
    Get the secure e-mail settings for your e-mail from your ISP. Use IMAP instead of POP. Both IMAP and SMTP can be configured to use secure ports and will require your account name and password. Once you use these settings, your Mail will work from anywhere.

  • I am trying to recover my bookmarks and mail RSS feeds+folders.

    I had to do a clean install of Lion.  I almost have everything back but I am missing a few of my backup files.  If I can locate these remaining items, I will be done finally!
    Safari bookmarks
    Mail RSS feeds and mail folders
    Oh
    And it would be nice to locate my iTune's Artwork for my library items. Not not a deal breaker, there are just so many of them to hunt and peck for if I decide to do so.
    I have looked everywhere I can think of for these with no success. 

    I ended up having the Apple Genius bar work on this problem for me.  The plists are now hidden in the Lion software and they had to go into the basic language portion of the system and execute commands to locate and retrieve the information.  However, I do have all the information back.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and note need about five minutes to start.

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and Note need about five minutes to start.
    After starting, Mail answers are very very slow. The same for Note. Instead of, sending mails is only a bit slower than before upgrading.
    In Safari, I choose Goggle as starting page in Preferences, but at every restart misses that starting page and the search strip says "Seek Google or instert an address".

    Well, I found the solution here in another thread.
    i just want to mention that the samw thing was happening also for the notes and the reminders apps!! (they quit unexpectedly!!).
    So I found the solution here.
    Thank you graphicsluc!!!

  • How to save multiple attachments in Lion Mail?

    In Snow Leopard Mail, I can save multiple attachments to my Downloads folder with one click. In Lion Mail, I see no way to save attachments except by right-clicking on them one at a time. I must be missing something. Information appreciated.

    I believe you are missing something. I'm not on my Mac right now but there should be a setting where to save attachments and also muiltiples at one time.
